The first sentence is definitely wrong, as concatenating the two phrases "I was operated on / my left eye" doesn't scan correctly. The second one is better, as the preposition forms a transition between the phrases, but it's still longer than necessary to convey the intended meaning. Here's a better rephrasing of the whole sentence: > My left eye was operated on a month ago. Alternatively: > I was operated on a month ago, in my left eye.
